Kmart Chat Thread!

You probably know this, but there is an IP for $1/1 Purex? It's on the purex site and you have to sign up and it's a bricks coupon.

Just have one and they did, but after all they did help me the last time I was there(post is in the other thread from last week), I'm kind of embarrassed to ask they do anything for me again for a while. Probably will depend on who is working. Just would be easier if it went through smoothly and you would think by the middle of the month that they would have it fixed.

I have 20 of the Beneful coming and am crossing my WM has them. Guess I'll see tomorrow.

Does anyone want any $1/1 Golden Oreo coupons(good on the full size packs)? I have about 5-10 if someone wants them. Expire 6/30.

newb...laptop bag!

I SAID laptop bagS. So laptop bagS makes me a newbie

secret... nuff throws away her spare "clipped" coupons

Send them MY WAY

every one has or will do the binder...it is part of the process

Yeah I guess so. We just call the people who use the binders the Binder People. The look so cute and organized. BUT I'm just thinking it doesn't matter what you use it's what you got inside what you use. And I got some good shit! BUT I have a GREAT place to send someone who loves the binder method. It's a local card shop here and they have all kinds of different sizes of plastic sleeves. I thought that was helpful when I did use a binder for a short period of time. Heck I have WAY to many coupons to squeeze into sheets of a binder. I would need about 100 binders to hold ALL my stuff. Also I'm upset I spend SO much time and money getting a nice binder all setup and then didn't like it. So a big waste of time and money. When I go into Walmart I tell the greeter I'm here to do surgery so get OUT of my way! No time for any chit chatting today.


Nuff did NOT approve...Nuff reads all....
naughty beans!

Yikes!! I swear you approved ALL of this! I think you just forgot.

Nuff starts her second round of refresher transactions at 8 am

I have it about an hour away from where I live, at my aunt's house. I built up a customer base there because I was living in an apartment and didn't have the space. Now, I have to go back! During the spring/summer months, I try to have one a month. Plan is to go from April until October. I usually pull in somewhere between $700-$1200 for one day. I also had an email-only sale around Christmas and sold over $500.

Hi everyone! I found you!

Thanks tracysbeans for starting this thread!

I'm doing the laundry detergent and didn't see a coupon on their site.

Oh wow you do great!! Thanks for sharing it. Maybe you can help others with some tips if they want to do it.

Sorry, I thought it was the purex site. Here is the link:

I am more than willing to help, but KMart still makes me nervous!

Thank you! Just sent it to my husband to print, who happens to be a computer tech at a high school with LOTS of access to computers!

I went to Kmart today for the first time in years. I was surprised because everything was actually in stock. On the Pantene, I bought 4 and used 2 BOGO and 1 $3/2 coupon. The cashier took $2.50 off the 1st and $2.00 off the second BOGO coupon. I was hoping for $4.99 and $2.50. I also got 2 Bounty and 2 Crest toothpaste. The Crest was in a bonus pack with a free trial size Scope and a coupon book. I found $1/1 Bounty, Charmin, and Crest coupons in the June/July Latino magazine.

Oh wow I think I would have folded the order if a cashier would only have given me half the value for the B1G1Fs. It wouldn't have been work it that way. I wish I could get ahold of some of the Latino magazines. How much are they. Is there some way I can get some of then?

Can we do another free Ragu & Barilla wyb OM chicken strips or is it once per SYWR? Also is there a limit of the free soda with $25 purchase? And finally does Kmart take Internet coupons?

Yes the meal deal is just once per transaction. Not per card. No limit on the soda either just one per transaction and you have to be at $25. I got 4 12pks so far!

Also on the P&G $10, I guess if I try to roll it can't be used on BOG50%, but can I use it for just $10 of the Herbal Essence that's also BOG50% if I don't try to roll.

If you want to roll you need to make sure you get $10 of P&G above any BOG50%. Those BOG50% can still be in the same transaction but if the BOG50% come to $20 you need to do the other $10 or more of a none BOG50% item(s). And it has to be at least $10 or more in value. Not $9.50 or something or the register won't accept the $10 P&G crt.


About ten years ago they had a deal where you could buy 3 bags of Halls cough drops and use a $5 off coupon and get about $1 overage. My son and I kept going over and over again and made enough to buy a Play Station 2! Those were the good old days.

Oh wow I missed that deal. You DID do great with that deal if you were able to get a Plya Station 2 with it!!


My local Kmart got really dirty and was always out of stock and had rude, untrained employees so I quit shopping there. I did try it about a week before Christmas this year. I went in a few minutes after the store opened and quickly loaded up on some stocking stuffers. I went to pay and couldn't find anybody to check me out. I waited around a few minutes and gave up and walked out. It's pretty sad when a week before Christmas you don't have anybody working the registers. Anyway that was my last trip to Kmart before today. I'll be back to try again.

Wow! Thanks for sharing your story.

I think Kmart makes everyone nervous, but we will figure it out and help each other through it!

And about the printables.

Oh I have a tip on this. I try NOT to go to early in the morning to Kmart. The run real short on staff the first couple hours. At least on Sundays here. I remember going on one Sunday morning and there was NO cashiers. The csm said she was it until 10:00am. And I couldn't check out with her because I was expecting a cat for my order. And there is NO catalina machine at the csm desk. So I just left and came back later on in the day. I'm not sure if that is how it works at all Kmarts. And I think it is just on Sundays at my Kmart. I NEVER check out at the service desk. I tell others who start lining up to go over there.

We started it to survive. We moved 900 miles from home with no jobs, just savings and 6 months worth of rent pre-paid. We live closer to my family now, but further from the rest of our family and friends. My husband, luckily, got a job right after I received my last paycheck (teacher, so although we moved in July, I was paid through August). The only problem was health insurance was $500 a month. So we were bring in $1500 a month. When both car payments add up to $800ish, then you add in gas, which was at least $250 a month because we lived 30 mins from his work, plus other random bills, we had very little to live on and NO back up for emergencies. I searched and searched for a job, but wasn't getting hired. Then, last November, we found out I was pregnant (oops!) and it got even tighter. I got lucky and got a part time job as a para, which paid insurance and made a little bit of money, so it was better. I can't tell you how many times yardsales paid our bills for another month.

I actually got intrigued by the idea with the garage sale thread here and have been hooked ever since. It was funny with all the product that used to line the walls in my dining room. I actually had a sale 2 weeks before I was due with my daughter, in the middle of July.

Around Christmas time, a new tablet came out, the asus transformer prime. DH had a pre-order from Best Buy but it didn't look like it was shipping anytime soon. So I started stalking the threads to find him one, hopefully before Christmas. We got lucky and got one. He also HAD to have the base. It was on our best buy card because we have 0 interest for 18 months. So now he has had it for about 6 months. Guess what JUST fell on concrete outside? Yup. 12 more months to pay on a broken toy. I can tell he is really upset and he's telling me it's okay. All I can think is that's around $800 down the drain, as it is completely ruined, no fixing and the base is ruined, so no reselling.
